I recently posted a thread concerning both beer and marijuana. It was deleted by an admin. I would like to discuss the reasoning behind this policy in anyone is willing to.

I interpreted the rules to mean we can't discuss the abuse of alcohol. For instance, it says we can't discuss the abuse of pharmaceuticals. Those are "legal" drugs (but regulated of course) just like alcohol is "legal" (but regulated). How is it I can dicuss taking an oxycotin (if I wasn't abusing it, if it was prescribed and I was totally legal in taking and not abusing it), but I can't discuss having *a* beer legally? What is the reason for that policy, and can we (you, whoever is in charge here) re-think that one?

Beer is as part of America as Apple Pie. It is totally legal when not abused (when not given to minors, when not drunk so much of that drunken driving or some other drunken public nuisance occurs, etc.). So why not be able to talk about it... especially how it might interact with cannabis, etc. There is just no reason that I can think of (at least no good one) to disallow such talk. It's not like beer talk would "take over" the board... any more then apple pie talk has.

When I saw that my post was deleted, I seriously felt like the time I was posting on my Southern Baptist pastor's blog about cannabis, and he deleted it. I expect censorship from them though... I didn't expect it here.

To my pastor I say this: Cannabis is a plant... God made it. Please re-consider your views on censuring even just discussion about it.

To Cannabis.com I say this: Jesus made wine people. It is from a grape, and even occurs naturally sometimes in the right weather conditions. It is dangerous if abused, but it is a blessing if used correctly. Please change this policy.

P.S. -
I am assuming my post was deleted for violating the rules. I never got a message from the admin, the post was just deleted... I still didn't know why. When I searched around I found an "infraction" in my profile for other "drugs- alcohol- warning"... so I'm assuming I violated some rule...
